It should be also marked that Susiya village depends on solar panels to generate electricity. Due to fact that the area consumes much power in lighting structures and dairy productions, Commit Me company gifted more solar panels to the residents to meet their needs. Intentionally, the Israeli occupation forces confiscated the recently gifted panels.

With a total population of 300 inhabitants, Susiya village is reported to be under the threat of forcible displacement, taking into consideration that the Israeli colony of Susiya founded in the area is constantly expanding at the expense of Palestinian lands.
